Notes
A staff memorandum to the Burien City Council introducing the North of NERA Rezone Project, which proposes to rezone approximately 158 acres currently designated RS 7,200 (single-family residential) to industrial land use consistent with the Burien 2044 Comprehensive Plan. The project area is located north of the Northeast Redevelopment Area (NERA) between S 128th Street and S 138th Street, west of Des Moines Memorial Drive, and aims to accommodate Burien’s employment growth target of 4,770 net new jobs. The memo provides historical background on NERA, outlines project goals including support for light-industrial uses and neighborhood compatibility, and identifies opportunities for community engagement.
